Google has launched +1 a social button allowing you to recommend the things you like on the web, something similar to the like button on Facebook. Social recommendations like +1 is vital to sustain the growth of social power in Google search results. Although if you are still a fan of like button from Facebook, a developer from crossrider multi-platform browser development team has developed a browser extension which adds a facebook like button to every result on Google search results page, But what is the purpose of having a Like button in Google search? you get to know how many people liked each of the results and who from your friends already have recommended it, also you get to recommend those websites/blogs which doesn’t have Facebook like embedded in the website.

This extension adds a Facebook like button alongside every link on Google.com search results page. A link of the site will also be posted in your Facebook profile. And if you are a webmaster, you can find out how many likes a particular page/post has received, something worthwhile in the social media era.

Google like search results

The extension is available on internet Explorer, Firefox and chrome as of now. The like button on Google search works on all categories of search result like video, news, blogs, books but it doesn’t work on images and realtime results from twitter. Looks like social recommendations for search is here to stay and soon we might have analytics like “likes” and “+1” to measure web traffic and page rank of a webpage.

So what are you waiting for install the extension from crossrider.com/install/124-google-like.
